8 Waterford Waterworks — 2013 Consumer Confidence Report Data Water System Information If you would like to know more about the information contained in this report, please contact Jeff Dolezal at (262) 534-4069. Opportunity for input on decisions on water The Utilities meeting occurs on the third Monday of each month at 4:00 PM @ 123 North River Street inside the Waterford Village Hall. Health Information Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791). Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Environmental Protection Agency's safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791). Source(s) of Water chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which shall provide the same protection for public health. Definitions Term AL MCL MCLG MFL Source ID Source Depth Status 1 Groundwater 135 ft Active 3 Groundwater 136 ft Active 4 Groundwater 82 ft Active 5 Groundwater Active To obtain a summary of the source water assessment please contact, Jeff Dolezal at (262) 534-4069. Educational Information The sources of drinking water, both tap water and bottled water, include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic MRDL Definition Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. million fibers per liter Maximum residual disinfectant level: The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum residual disinfectant level goal: The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or exMRDLG pected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. mrem/ millirems per year (a measure of radiation absorbed by the year body) NTU Nephelometric Turbidity Units pCi/l picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity) ppm parts per million, or milligrams per liter (mg/l) ppb parts per billion, or micrograms per liter (ug/l) ppt parts per trillion, or nanograms per liter ppq parts per quadrillion, or picograms per liter TCR Total Coliform Rule TT Treatment Technique: A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Waterford Waterworks is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. Information on Monitoring for Cryptosporidium and Radon Our water system did not monitor our water for cryptosporidium or radon during 2013.

Ask Dave Miles, the “DOA Who Made It!” Dave was stopped at a busy intersection, waiting for a green light, when a “dead drunk” 54 year old man rear-ended him at almost 50 mph. He flew, while convulsing, three stories high, then crushed onto the roof of the car that just hit him, slid down the windshield and “sailed” almost a hundred feet across that intersection, where he lay face down and “stone dead.” Repeated attempts to revive him finally got a pulse to stay.

Busy with tasks like cutting grass, trimming trees, and working our gardens and flower beds. There are several things to keep in mind in order to prevent finding a friendly ordinance reminder from the DPW in your mailbox. 8:00 a.m.— 5K Run Whitford Park 10:15 — Kids Bike Parade 11:00 — Main Parade on Main Street After parade — Burlington Kiwanis Civic Band will play at 10 Club Park 1:30 p.m. — Great Duck Raffle, 10 Club Park The first area to consider is grass cutting. Our village ordinance 95-2 states that grass and/or noxious weeds cannot be over 12 inches in height. Upon receiving a complaint, we head to the area in question, take pictures, measure the grass/weed height, and send out a letter of ordinance violation if the criteria meets the standard to be a violation. The letter states grass/ weeds must be cut within 10 days and a date to comply to the ordinance is given. After the 10 days a third party service is called in to cut the grass/weeds at the owner’s expense. If the property falls into violation again at any time during the rest of the year, the mowing service returns without notification and citations may be issued. July 5 7:00 p.m. — Muskego Waterbugs Ski Show Dusk after show — Tichigan Lake Fireworks Fireworks Ordinance Definitions: Chipping trees and brush is another area of concern. Every Monday from April 1 to October 31 we chip brush alternating east and west sides of the village. During the winter months there is no brush chipping. During the normal chipping months all trees and brush should be placed at the back of the curb laid stump end facing the street. The limbs should be no bigger than 4 inches in diameter. Keep branches in multiple piles instead of one large one. We can chip faster this way as chipping stops are limited to 15 minutes. Trees with root balls (dirt clumps) still attached must have the root ball cut off. Root balls quickly destroy blades in the chipper. Statutory Fireworks — Anything manufactured, processed or packaged for exploding, emitting sparks or combustions which does not have another common use, inclusive of pyrotechnics. Novelty Fireworks — toy snakes, sparklers and caps, confetti or streamer spray device, fuseless device designed to produce noise or visual effects that contain no more than 1/4 grain of explosive mixture. No person may possess, use or sell statutory fireworks in the Village. The last yard maintenance consideration deals with grass clippings, leaves, branches, trash, or any other yard waste. Blowing or placing in the street may create safety hazards and is prohibited by Village ordinance 186-5. Yard waste should not be placed on the curb for garbage pickup. Take all yard waste, bushes or root balls to the DPW “permitrequired” dump site, 801 Ela Ave. Annual permits can be purchased for $20 at Village Hall. Visit our website, vi.waterford.wi.gov for a complete schedule or pick one up at Village Hall. See below for the 3rd Quarter schedule of garbage pick-up/yard waste drop-off. No person may sell novelty fireworks, or store or possess novelty fireworks for other than personal use, without a permit from the Village.
